Evaluation
Category Excellent (4) Good (3) Needs Improvement (2) Incomplete (1)
Research & Content Leaflet includes 2+ real places with clear and accurate explanations of danger (e.g. history, myths, culture, terrain). Leaflet includes 1–2 places with mostly accurate info. Places are vague or research is shallow. Little or no research shown.
Creativity & Humor Highly creative! Leaflet is full of clever warnings, funny advice, and unique ideas. Some humor and creativity are present. A few fun elements, but mostly serious or dry. Lacks humor or original thinking.
Language Use (English) Excellent grammar, clear warnings, fun vocabulary (e.g. “Beware of angry goats!”). Some grammar mistakes, but meaning is clear. Many errors that make it hard to understand. Very hard to read or mostly untranslated.
Visual Design (Canva) Design is visually attractive, organized, includes images, icons, and easy-to-read text. Design is neat, with a few visuals and readable layout. Some effort in design, but layout is confusing or messy. Low effort or not completed in Canva.
Presentation / Sharing Confident and entertaining presentation; engages classmates. Clear presentation with good effort. Quiet, rushed or unclear sharing. No presentation or just read without effort.
